Nervous of the girl's hand
Making notes on clean white paper
"Meet me at the bus stop later"

None of us were pre-planned
Love-making, slapdash babies
Governmental cashback babies


All your life
You could escape

But the big black hole is gaping
Your life
You didn't know

You would survive this long
Major poked your daddy's eye
And smiled so sweetly, moved aside


Never saw that boy's hand
Creeping up your tracksuit

How much did your father teach you?
None of us were pre-planned
But some of us were born this pretty

On electric beaches, highlights in our hair

All your life

You could escape
But the big black hole is gaping
Your life

You didn't know
You could survive this long
Major stole your baby's crown

And smiled so sweetly, turned around

I had a dream that you and me were running

Through the streets under the Christmas bunting
I may be drunk but I think I love you honey
So f**k them all, we are forgotten babies


We are forgotten babies
We are forgotten babies

Tell that to the lunching ladies
We are forgotten babies
We are forgotten babies
